Every Day Gets Better

I have always had thoughts running around in my mind that it's not ok to be too happy while there are so many people suffering all manner of misfortunes. I used to think it would be ok to be happy if everyone else was too. I think I may have felt and taken on the pain of others a little too strongly! In my younger years, if a friend I cared about was Continue Reading

Sometimes knowingly, or unknowingly we punish ourselves by eating all the wrong foods, not exercising, being too busy at work and socially. We take on too many things, avoid saying no to people and situations and we don't have enough quiet time.  We feel stressed and overwhelmed and crave rest but often don't even know why. Self care and self love means Continue Reading

This very moment is so precious because it’s the ONLY moment! I know that can sound a tad weird or esoteric, but when you think about it logically, you’ll get it. A minute ago doesn’t exist - it’s gone and a minute from now doesn’t exist yet so all you have is this exact moment. Right here, right now, is all there is so I think you’d agree what we do in Continue Reading

Taking good care of your mind and body takes time, sometimes requires patience and always requires diligence, a bit of research and above all, finding things that are right for you.

My dear brother, who has been a steady, kindly and joyous presence in my life since childhood, sadly passed away last week. (7th  Jan 2022).

It's needless to say that if you've been making a good effort to practice positive, helpful habits, they will strongly support you at times when things become challenging. It works the other way too. If you're Continue Reading

My Mother was born on this day in 1917. I often ponder on what she would have made of the world today, but I already know the answer to my musings. She was strong, focussed and incredibly resilient. She had to be - she had two toddlers who were born just before and during WW11. (I was born ten years later). She had already experienced the death of her Continue Reading

Oh my dear fellow humans, I am concerned for the many of you who are allowing your fears to rule your days. Yes, times are challenging - absolutely, but as much as our normal human rights are being taken away from us (I live in outer Melbourne, Australia, with many disruptive issues going on), it is imperative we remain calm, optimistic and hopeful for a Continue Reading

Throughout history, since humans inhabited the Earth, fear, anger, hatred, fighting and all manner of disagreements between people have been part of society. And, this will continue for all time to come. Why is it like this? Why can't people get along and show kindness, understanding and forgiveness?
